12:12pm A slightly stop-start innings, but the Invincibles have recovered well to get up to 125. Lanning, for a change, struggled, with Capsey and Scholfield, promoted to open, not having a huge impact either. Winfield-Hill, though, held the innings together through the middle, with Gardner and Wellington chipping in with cameos towards the end.

Cross was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts, with Ballinger not very shabby either. Sutherland bagged a couple of wickets, and Smith accounted for Lanning. All of that has meant that the Superchargers now have a target that they will be confident of chasing, although the Invincibles, on a track that has offered something to the bowlers, will feel they have something to play with too. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Cross to Franklin, 1 leg bye, back of a length outside off. Franklin walks across, trying to access the area behind square on the leg side. Makes a complete hash of it, though, and the ball gets stuck in her pads. Gardner pinches a leg bye, and the Invincibles finish with 125!

Cross to Gardner, 1 run, full just outside off. Gardner looks to go downtown but does not time it well enough. Scuffs it and the ball bounces well in front of long off

Cross to Wellington, OUT, dragged on, and no need for a fielder this time! This is another very, very wide delivery. Much, much fuller too and almost ends up being a yorker. Wellington, having shimmied across, looks to flick it away but all she does is drag it onto her stumps. Not sure if she will be able to do that if she tried again, but Cross has a beaming smile on her face and will not mind an iota!

Cross to Wellington, FOUR, dropped, and it goes for four as well! Slower ball hung up on a length way outside off. Wellington does well to reach it but the ball skews off the top edge as she tugs to leg. Ballinger runs back from short third, but does not even get her fingers to it. Straight through, and the ball trickles into the fence!

Cross to close out the innings. A few more runs, and this could be a handy total on this track
